Richmond American Homes last weekend unveiled a furnished model home to kick off the second phase of house construction in Seola Gardens, a mixed-income community in White Center being developed by the King County Housing Authority.

The model at 10934 Fourth Place S.W. is the first of 54 houses that Richmond will build at Seola. Richmond also built the first phase.

“The first phase sold out very quickly,” said KCHA Executive Director Stephen Norman in a news release. “This second and final phase fulfills KCHA's vision and commitment to provide quality, market-rate homeownership in White Center as part of Seola Gardens.”

Phase two homes range in size from 1,800 to 2,550 square feet and have three and four bedrooms. They are two stories with two-car garages. Projected prices range from $347,000 to $390,000.

The first two homes are under construction and could be finished as early as June.

Seola Gardens started as a WWII public housing community known as Park Lake Homes II. KCHA's redevelopment has rent-subsidized and for-sale homes, as well as a mid-rise building for seniors operated by Providence Health & Services of Washington.

When the final phase of single-family homes is finished, the 30-acre site will be home to about 300 owner and rental households.

Seola Gardens is a Three-Star Built Green community, and in 2013 won a Built Green Hammer Award from the Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties.
